The plants are bushy bushy indicia plants (not sure if they're female yet) about 12" tall. I am going to start flowering them tomorrow. Is it OK to setup a scrog on top of them after I sex them even know they've been in flower a few days?

I've never done scrog but am going to build one tomorrow.

I have 3 plants right now in 7.5 gal DWC tubs in a 4x3x7ft tent.

Wow, going to do that this next time around with clones. Decided to just flower them regularly this time around because I don't know if they're female or not.

I am huge fan of SCROG on indoor grows. Light coverage alone makes it worth the effort. Words of advice: Use anything from chickenwire to hog wire or weave a pattern with string. Go bigger holes!!! Do not use a SCROG if multiple plants and you cannot access all sides easily. Such as in a bathtub with 6 plants in it. Like I just frigging am discovering. But a week at most until chop and all the hundreds of buds stuck under the wire will get better light after the canopy is chopped. Huge buds and impressive for only a 400 to veg and start flowering with.

Mine was with cyclone fencing because it was here and free. Those vinyl orange nets you seed on road construction would be great. Just keep weaving the plant in until she stops stretching.

Since you don't know the sex yet, you should consider lst training. It serves the exact same purpose as a scrog, yet you can still manuver (or kill) individual plants as you need to. Just get you a roll of that twist tie wire from hd, grab the terminal end of a shoot and ease it down and hook it on the edge of the pot (or drill small holes around the pot and tie it). It will def increase your yield.

that's all I do is lst, occasionally I will do some knuckling also which I find helps slow growth for bushier plat

Put the SCROG in before you flower. Unless it hasn't started to stretch! Then anything to keep the canopy level works including LST.

I think he isn't to far into flower, I myself am a few days in flower, so it probably to late, I guess finish up and try it again next time

I always let my SCROG screen get 75% full before I flip to 12/12.

I had no idea this Bubble Gum doesn't even begin to grow much until it flowers. Veg growth is slow. So now I find this all out yesterday from the guy who originally grew it out. He said he does not even screen until about 3 weeks into flower with this strain at the earliest. And he informs me it is a 10 week flower. I was counting on 8 before I knew what it was.I'll cut the tops, remove the Scrog and let all that bud under get some light.

I'm currently in the early stages of a Blueberry grow from seed (Dutch Passion). I've identified the best mother plant from the pack, and will clone her before putting her into flower. And I plan to SCROG 2 of her clones. I haven't SCROG'ed in a while, so I'm looking forward to getting back to it.

How did you identify the best mother from the pack without flowering them all out??

I've had plants that look like shit in veg produce some other worldy quality buds in flower...

Don't judge every plant by its veg, lol
